http://www.sciencemag.org/content/334/6058/974.full is the work using orthogonal techniques to figure out which the light atom actually was, with a discussion at http://www.sciencemag.org/content/334/6058/914.full The high-resolution structure that revealed that there was a light atom there is from 2002: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/297/5587/1696.full with discussion at http://www.sciencemag.org/content/297/5587/1654.full Tom
